The moment we help our children plant a tree, we instill in them a series of values and principles such as love, respect, dedication, responsibility, ecological and social awareness that will help them make the planet a better place for live.
When our children dig a small hole in the ground, they place the seeds, manipulate the soil, water the plants, and watch the trees they planted grow, fill with great enthusiasm, and at the same time learn a great Lesson of respect and love for the nature.
My son and I water the plants every morning, remove some weeds and remove their dried leaves. But there was a moment when he told me that he wanted a plant, and since he had all the matrials, I helped him make his first seedbed.
For this we need:
- Fertilized land.
- Containers
- Seeds
- Water.
- Eggshells.
Step 1:
We make holes in the containers so they can have good drainage. Since my son is very young, I made the holes with the help of a fine point knife.
Step 2.
We fill the containers with land.
Step 3.
We make a small hole (it cannot be deep) and place the chili seeds.
Step 4.
Cover the seeds with the same soil.
Step 5.
We add water.
Step 6.
We add the eggshells (helps the plants grow)
Step 7.
We place the containers in a cool place.
Love it! and SO great that you are teaching your son to do this.. theres never a better time then when they are young!
